Jennifer Lawrence Covers 'Madame Figaro' Style Issue

Here’s what the 23-year-old actress had to share with the mag (translated):

On wanting a normal life when off screen: “I want my life is as normal as possible. One of the dangers in the film industry is that things are too fast, aging and depriving have lived. I do not want to burn the stages of my life. I want to keep it simple, you see, I do not have an assistant. One that helps me is my best friend. At the end of a day of shooting, I can go home and hang out with her, do what we do in 22 years…and not share time with someone who works for me.”

On her childhood: “My nickname was ‘Nitro’ as nitroglycerin. I was hyperactive, curious about everything. When my mother told me about my childhood, she always told me there was like a light in me, a spark that inspired me constantly. When I entered the school, the light went out. We never knew what it was, a kind of social anxiety. But I had friends.”
